A Girl's Daddy


I’ve been a dad for nearly a day and a half and I’m already exhausted.  My daughter has little regard for day and night.  My daughter… It’s still really funny to me to say that.

I know I wrote on my last blog that newborn babies are ugly and…. Well that’s still true, BUT that doesn’t mean that they aren’t precious.  My daughter is the most beautiful little person I’ve ever laid my eyes on.  She gave me the beginnings of a smile today and blew me away.  I knew I was got when I thought it was cute when she took a poo while I was changing her diaper.  Somehow in the span of 24 hours, doo doo became cute.

Must be love.

There are some other weird things going through my head as I look forward to raising a baby girl:

Is this going to change my view of sluts and strippers?  At least 18 years ago, all those women were somebody’s little girl.  I would hate for my baby to have the same fate.  Then again, I want my baby to know she is loved and for her to love herself.  That seems to be step one in stopping a young girl from working the pole for a living.  I don’t know how to force a woman to love herself but if my baby knows one thing, it’s that her daddy loves her.  That’s literally half the battle.  Secondly, I won’t have a relationship with sluts anytime anyway.  I’m married for crying out loud.  That ship has sailed.

I admit that it will be harder to objectify women.  However, I’ve been working on that for 10 years now.  Sounds good all around.

Another thing, I realize that there is very little chance of me to be any help with girly problems.  That is, unless she plans on never having any suitors.  I mean, I already have a problem comparing people my age with myself.  If my daughter comes to me about some boy problem, my only answer right now is “Tell him to stop being a bitch ass nigga.”  That may not work so well every time.

Lastly, I realize that I’m well on the way to being wrapped around her little finger.  That’s a foregone conclusion.  What I ponder is whether or not that is such a terrible thing.  It takes a real man to show love.  I love my baby so I’m going to show it every chance I get.  Of course, my honesty does tend to show my capacity for harshness from time to time.  I better start working on that now.  I got no clue how to be tough yet loving quite yet.  Hopefully I will just go with loving, ya know, to be safe.

Welp, I better steal a quick nap while I can.  I have somebody’s relationship with men to shape in the morning.  I should probably be rested up for that.

I wish I was a super hero.  Even at this age I have delusions of saving people that far too often don't want to be saved. Seriously, how many stupid people can one city have?  That's not even counting all the people with Confederate flags on their cars or worse, Mitt Romney bumper stickers.  Those people just need to be slapped.  There are people in this city that still think drive by shootings are viable options to settling disputes that started on facebook... Fucking FACEBOOK.  Shooting these people would be counter productive and hypocritical but I do think someone should at least make an attempt to turn these people into useful members of society.  When that doesn't work, beat those assholes into submission.  Brutality worked during slavery and that had zero moral grounding.  I support routine beatings of people that obviously deserve it. First example: Sexual predators.  Something ridiculous, like 1 in 4 women are sexually ass...

Maury must be stopped. No one has profited more from Black people being ignorant than he.   I know the old saying: “Mama’s baby, Papa’s maybe.” But, contrary to popular belief, Black men love their children.   Everyone loves children.   Even if Black men realize that they aren’t bringing much to a household, they know that there is magic there.   That magic might be scary, like all magic, but it’s there.   There isn’t much difference between the love that develops between a man and a child with his D.N.A.   and a man that a child that he has raised. I am my father’s son.   No, I’m not light skinned or a hustler, but I laugh when I hear something funny.   I’ll sit on a porch and dink liquor all Saturday morning.   My toes are extraordinarily long (just like his).   I will see a beautiful woman and take notice just because I am a man and that’s what a man does.   My dad raised me well. When you see a Black man on Maury, y...

Uncle Tom is Back!!!!

and that nigga must be stopped! There has been a rash of Black Men in the last few years that have surged ahead in the fight to bring back right wing America.  It started with Clarence Thomas.  He scraped and bowed his way all the way to the Supreme Court.  We thought that was bad back in the day but oh no, it was only the beginning of the new black right wing. I should back up.  Black America has been inherently Conservative for a long time.  The reason being is that the Black church, the community's traditional leader, is inherently conservative.  Most of our leaders have come from the church and so stand against things like homosexuality, pre-marital sex and the right to an abortion. Luckily, most black people realized that right wing politics and conservative beliefs don't usually end well for the Black community.  By the mid '60s, the republican party had virtually abandoned Black voters so we migrated to the democratic party.  The dems...
